Poptin recently launched its newest roster of pop up templates that can give your next campaigns an extra boost to convert effectively.
Introducing…the gamified popups!
This kind of pop-ups allows you to show game elements to your visitors in a fully non-game setup. It’s brand new and it’s worth the try!
We’ve already introduced the first two gamified pop up templates; spin the wheel pop up and pick a gift popup.
In this article, we’ll be focusing on the third template, which gives you and your visitors an equally fun and exciting experience on your website.
Meet your next gamified popup: the Scratch Card!
What is a Scratch Card Popup
Are you into the lottery? Well, you’d be surprised that you can play this on your website too, whether you’re into eCommerce, SaaS, or a different type of niche.
This interactive scratch off popup lets your visitors get surprising brand offers by just scratching off the concealed information using a virtual coin. Inspired by the popular gambling cards, it’s fun to do as excitement increases! Who doesn’t want free gifts, right?
Once the scratch-it box has been scratched, the specified promo is revealed and visitors can redeem the offering just within the duration of the session.
Although you can choose to give a losing ticket, the experience itself would enable you to capture more visitors and give them a nice shopping experience anyway. Knowing that you’ve given them a chance to win makes this strategy a lot more effective for web conversions.
Why Use Scratch Off Popup
Scratch card popups can help you gain more email marketing leads, subscribers, and customers. You may opt to give discount vouchers, free shipping promos, coupon codes, and more, to entice them.
With gamification, you can drive your visitors into giving their contact information while doing the game and having fun. It’s achievable when you successfully trigger their excitement, competitive spirit, and love of winning.
It’s also possible to reduce cart abandonment significantly once you show your scratch card pop up when they try to leave your site without buying anything.
